Eli5: Enthalpy and the human body

It’s been 2 decades since AP chemistry so can someone explain to me simply whether the human body is endothermic or exothermic? I keep confusing myself when googling…

Exothermic. If a reaction produces heat it is Exothermic, if a reaction drains heat, it is Endothermic.

The human body makes heat, this is why we have a body temperature and need a cooler environment than our body.
